Nothing has changed. They keep coming up with their artist renderings of how wonderful it will be and keep saying that the final transfer of lands is around the corner, but nothing happens. In the meantime, the town of Ceiba, where Rosie sits, and the Island of Vieques keep languishing in economic depression. The mayor of Ceiba is threatening to sue the Rosie Roads Redevelopment Commission. The truth is, the government is broke and the private sector is weary of doing business with this government.
So far this is Ramey AFB part II. I hope it changes.
In the meantime the section of Roosevelt Roads that will remain in federal hands, mostly for the Army and Marine Corps Reserves, Army and Air National Guard and Homeland Security, are starting to see some action in terms of prepartion of facilities.
Thanks. I figured the political infighting/corruption would slow the redevelopment down a lot, a la the Urban Train. But eventually that got done, so it’s probably just a matter of time. Lots of time...
